what do you mean by full size roof rack? there are a few sets of stock crossbars floating around on ebay and on the forum.. usually 250-325... many of us have roof baskets up there made by thule and yakima... i think the largest is the yakima loadwarrior with the 18" extension in the middle

i'm looking for one like the one you have.

thats the yakima loadwarrior, i dont have the middle extension though, i think that kpaske has the extension for it.. i dunno who else

[protonvxmatt]

thanks man.


peace

I have previously checked for any kind on roof rack. Neither Thule or Yalima even has one listed for the VX anymore. I got lucky and found a used one sans basket for around $200

you can use the yakima lowrider mounts with 48" round bars on the vx, ive had mine on for a while now with and without a basket.. loaded it up very heavily a few times with no problems

If you are looking for a basket, I too have the Yakima Loadwarrior, but with the extension. It almost touches the antenna in the back and is about 6" behind the windshield up front. There's some pics in my gallery with the rack mounted.

I have a coleman basket i pulled off off my VX for sale... $100+ shipping, ive debadged the fairing and carbon fibered one of the sides ... bart said that with the stock rack you need to cut about 3/4" out of the middle of the basket.. i can see if i can find someone here with a stock rack and fit it on there first if you would like... you can find that basket for $130 at costco though
